<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 4966685, member: 99456&quot;]Although it is available <a href="http://incuso.altervista.org/docs/rivista1911.pdf#page=423" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://incuso.altervista.org/docs/rivista1911.pdf#page=423" rel="nofollow">online</a>, Lodovico Laffranchi&#039;s article on this period is much nicer as an yellowed, somewhat fragile, set of pages (&quot;Estratto dal Fascicolo IV&quot;) from 1911. I think this photo with the Laffranchi plate page, also shows the reverse of the coin in a better light than the OP photo.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1193738[/ATTACH]</p><blockquote><p>&quot;La moneta era in quell&#039;epoca il manifesto uffi-ciale che recava notizia di tutti gli avvenimenti, politici, economici e militari del momento, non solo, ma anche a molti anni da un avvenimento storico importante, era ancora la moneta che lo rievocava quotidianamente a gli occhi del popolo, il quale si abituava perciò a considerare la memoria del fatto e la moneta come un corpo solo inscindibile.&quot;</p><p>-Laffranchi, L.
